Use this table to answer this type question: "If beginning one year from now I can deposit $3,000 a year for a period of 30 years, and I am able to earn 10% compound interest during this time, how much will I have at the end of 30 Years?

You would enter at the percent (10%), read down to the number of periods (30), and obtain the factor of (164.4940). Multiply the annual annuity ($3,000) by this factor (164.4940) to find the amount of money you will have at the end of the period. Learn that this is $3,000 x 164.4940 = $493,482 at the end of 30 years.
